Areas examinec during the inspection and our findings are discussed in i the enclosed report. Within these areas, the' inspection consisted of !
an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with l personnel,. and obser vations by the inspector. Within the scope of this inspection, w'. found no instance where you failed to meet NRC requirements.
